Kajee, Leila. Constructing identities in online communities of practice: A case study of online learning. Peter Lang, 2008.

This book critically examines the role of online learning in English language and academic literacy education at a South African university, with a focus on students from technologically under-resourced backgrounds. It explores how technology can act as a tool for social inclusion in developing countries by facilitating communities of practice among non-native English speakers. Through a sociocultural lens, it investigates students' participation, meaning negotiation, and identity construction in online spaces, emphasizing learning as interactive co-participation within specific contexts.
